Today, Amber Cabral invites us to challenge one of the most deeply ingrained myths in our culture: the idea of “normal.” From personal experience, financial uncertainty, and real conversations with her mentees and clients, Amber explores how chasing normal—or trying to be liked, accepted, or conventional—can quietly derail us from the lives we actually want.

She draws a powerful parallel between investing in the stock market and investing in our lives: both come with risk, and both are distorted by fear and stigma. Whether you’re feeling like you’ve fallen off your “plan” or navigating family pressure, judgment, or shame, Amber encourages you to ask the bigger questions: Who is this performance for? What fears are holding me hostage? What would I do if none of those fears were real?

This episode offers journal prompts, thoughtful reframes, and gentle but honest truths about the stories we’ve accepted as “success,” “adulthood,” or “the right way”—and what it takes to unlearn them.

Sometimes, the most liberating move is the one that looks nothing like the plan. Tune in.

In this honest and deeply practical episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral dives headfirst into one of the most misunderstood parts of growth: discomfort. Most of us try to avoid it, but what if discomfort isn’t something to run from—but something to lean into?

Amber shares why she believes discomfort is a muscle to be trained, not a flaw to be fixed, and how avoiding it can rob us of the peace, growth, and self-awareness we’re working so hard to reach. She explains the science behind what’s happening in the brain during discomfort, why it often shows up when we’re encountering new information or facing emotional truth, and how to tell the difference between discomfort and actual danger.

You’ll walk away with six actionable tools to help you navigate uncomfortable moments with more clarity and resilience. From reframing discomfort as something to expect to identifying the root of what you’re feeling, staying curious, and grounding yourself when things feel overwhelming—this episode is a guide for anyone who wants to grow without burning out. Amber even shares her own recovery plan and challenges listeners to build their own.

Tune in, take what you need, and start building your resilience—one uncomfortable moment at a time.
